DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Country Club Heights - Phase 3 Erosion Control Project (Project) site is within an existing residential development located in the unincorporated area of South Lake Tahoe, east of U.S. Highway 50/State Route 89 at Elks Club Drive and includes the old Elks Lodge parking lot. The proposed Project will reduce impacts to water quality, enhance recreation and access opportunities, and provide for Stream Environment Zone habitat restoration. Improvements will include restoration of the site through removal of non-native fill material, a constructed infiltration basin, and a multiuse trail for recreational access from the existing parking lot to the Upper Truckee River. The Project will help to meet goals identified in the El Dorado County Stormwater Resource Plan and the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project was adopted by the Board on April 7, 2020 (Legistar #19-1728, Item 16), in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

Transportation anticipates scheduling the construction contract award for the June 15, 2021 Board meeting.
